Manotick Backyard Ultra

The Manotick Backyard Ultra is an endurance running event held in the historic town of Manotick, Ontario. Starting at 692 Coffee and Bar, the race features a challenging loop combining road and trail running, including bridges over streams, park paths, and tarmac sections. The event tests runners' physical and mental stamina, with no set finish line—participants run until only one remains. Alongside the ultra, there are a 5K race for competitive runners and a Family 1K fun run suitable for all ages, with half the Family 1K registration fees donated to CHEO Children's Hospital. The event fosters a supportive and spirited atmosphere in a scenic setting. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
